SUMMARY:Roundtable conversation moderated by Pamela Newkirk\, with Paula Giddings\, Shola Lynch\,  Louise Greaves\, sculptor Richard Hunt\, and Michelle Duster\, great granddaughter of Ida B. Wells
DESCRIPTION:Though virtually forgotten today\, Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a household name in Black America during much of her lifetime (1863-1931) and was considered the equal of her well-known African American contemporaries such as Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois. Ida B. Wells: A Passion for Justice (1989\, 55 min) by filmmaker William Greaves retells the dramatic life and turbulent times of the pioneering African American journalist\, activist\, suffragist and anti-lynching crusader of the post-Reconstruction period. Wells’ great-granddaughter Michelle Duster is working with the Ida B. Wells Commemorative Art Committee to memorialize Wells in bronze. The monumental artwork will be located at 37th and Langley in Bronzeville\, the Chicago neighborhood where she once lived\, worked\, and raised her family. The central sculpture will be created by sculptor Richard Hunt.

SUMMARY:"Alufa Rufino\, A Man of Faith and Sorcery on the Periphery of Islam."
DESCRIPTION:João Reis\, Universidade Federal da Bahia\, Brazil\n\n\nBrazil\, and particularly Bahia\, was arguably the destination of most African Muslims deported from West Africa to the Americas on board slave ships during the first half of the nineteenth century. They were mainly Hausas\, Nupes\, and Yorubas who\, once in Brazil\, were involved in several slave revolts. This is a well-known story. What is less well-known is that parallel to this militant Islam\, there were other\, more accommodationist forms of Islam that also flourished among African slaves and freed people in Brazil. This lecture is about a man who represented  this form of Islam. A devout Muslim\, Abuncare (a.k.a\, Rufino José Maria) nonetheless dedicated himself to divination and other unorthodox practices that he learned in Africa and either reproduced in Brazil or adapted to Brazilian belief systems.
